UNITARIANS.

The Unitarian Society of this city
had preaching in their church last Sun
day, by Rev. Gannett. of Chicago.
The Unitarians have respectable
church edifice in this city, and it has
not been occupied by them but little
more than once year for the past four
or five years. The society became
much depleted by deaths and removal
of members. Delegates were chosen
last Sunday to the Unitarian conven.
ton, which convened in Chicago on
Tuesday last. The persons elected
delegates were Miss Grace Howe, Miss
Matte French, Mr.. G. A. Dewey and
Mr.. S. 7. Brande. Much important
business, we understand, will come be-
fore the convention. There are diver
sity of sentiments in the Unitarian
body, which a few years ago it was APP
pretended might be divisiye, but a
better understanding, it is said, is being
arrived at. There are two Unitarian
papers published in Chicago-one the
Unity, and the other the Unitarian
each the representative of a class.
The convention was expected to re-
main in session four days, and efforts
made to reconcile conflicting senti-
ments, which have hitherto been dis
turbing elements.

IN raising beets, contributes the following
to the Dairynaan, which will serve excel.

"To raise beets successfully the soil
should be rich enough for a first-class
garden, and as free of weeds and trash
as possible. Plow deep, make fine and

The Whitewater Register says the
report that Albert Keep, president of

foundation of their subsequent success
in life, Albert Keep is one of the
many examples of this kind. He is
remembered when young man, a
clerk in store in Homer, N. Y. He
came west with another young man,
Philander Peck, also a clerk in the
same town in 1880, and the two located
in Whitewater, in this state, where
they opened a small dry goods store.
After a few years, with increasing
trade, they desired wider field of
operation and moved to Chicago.
Peck died while yet young man, but
before his death had acquired large
property. Keep, by successful bust
ness operations in railroad matters,
became a man of wide influence in
commercial circles, and rose to the
Presidency of one of the largest rail.

ADVENTURES OF A CLERGY
MAN.

Rev. w. E. Walker, late rector of
st. Matthias Episcopal church at Wau-
kesha, has recently been deposed from
the ministry by Bishop Brown, of Fond
du Lac, on the charge of improper
conduct resulting from too freely using
intoxicants. Rev. Walker has had
quite number of misfortunes of this
sort in past years. Where he first be-
gan his work in the ministry we are not
informed; he came by appointment of
conference to the charge of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church in this city.
Previous to his coming here he had
been rector of an Episcopal church, if
we mistake not, at Whitewater. He
did not remain here his full term, the
people of his charge being dissatisfied
with his too free use of intoxicating
liquors. Having been, as was sup
posed. reformed of his unfortunate
habit, he became pastor of the Congre-

CUT WORMS.

The pests are very numerous in many
parts of Illinois this season, and will prob
ably do considerable injury to garden and
field crops. AS is we'll known they are
the young or larve of various species of
night-hying moths, which deposit eggs in
autumn. These eggs hatch and The
young worms become partially grown
before the advent of winter. In the
spring they again begin to eat, and it is
at this time that the most serious mis-
chief is done.
Enthusiastically the best remedy
is that Of killing the worms off by the
use of poisonous bats before the crop is
planted. The mode of doing this is
we'll set forth in the following extract
from letter written by one of the
correspondents of the United States
Department of Agriculture. Prof. Riley
has suggested that punches of clover,
loosely tied together, would be preferable
to the cabbage leaves mentioned below
" Afterth land is prepared for cabbages
or any other crop needing protection,
place cabbage or turnip leaves in rows
10 or 20 feet apart all over the field and
about the same distance apart in the
rows. The leaves are first dipped in u
well-stirred mixture of tablespoonful
of Paris green to bucket of water or
they may be first moistened and then
busted with a mixture of one part of
Paris green to 20 of -four, and placed
carefully, with the busted surface next to
the ground. Two such applications,
particularly in cloudy weather, at inter-
walls of three or four days, will suffice to
allow the cut-worms to make way with
themselves, which they generally do with
perfect success. This plan, first recon-
mended by Prof. Riley, is the best have
found. Whoever adopts it will rid him.

SHOULD DISCRIMINATING RATES

WOOL GROWERS

The following letter, written by III. C.
Burt & Son, of Cleveland, O., to Hon. C.
Delano, Mount Vernon, explains itself:

sent to the Interstate Commerce

wool growers of California, asking for a
susp ension Of the operation of Sec. 4 of
the Interstate Commerce Law" in the
transportation of wool by rail from that
state to Boston, New York, Philadelphia
and other through shipping points. Ii
strikes us that if this petition is granted
discrimination will be made in favor
of California wool growers which will do
great injustice to the wool growers of
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and all
other middle and western states. Why
should the wool-groWing interest of
California demand special legislation for

one, and we hope.it will be fayorably

The new Christian Association build
ing at Racine had a formal opening on
Thursday evening last week. The
building is credit to the enterprise
and public spirit of the city. Appro-
pirate to the occasion were refresh
ments, music by Schulte's orchestra
and speeches. The building is of brick,
four stories high, complete in all its ar
rangements, and cost $4,000. For the
building expenses there were a number
of liberal givers, among them Mr.. E.
G. Durant, formerly respected citizen
of Kenosha, $4,000.

Some of the labor troubles assumed
gigantic proportions the past week. In
Chicago $4,000 men were reported idle.
These were carpenters, brick-layers
and builders of various kinds. 1t is
impossible to calculate what proper
ton of these men have families; but
when the women and children are add
ed to The number of unemployed men,
it may be imagined what the result of
so much idleness is calculated to pro-
duce. If the question be asked, what
is the cause for all this condition of
idleness of such a great army of men,
we answer in this case, we know no
good justification for it, although there
may be more reasons than appear on
the surface. 1t is fearful response
bility to suspend the daily earnings of
$4,000 men, where such multitudes are
dependent on their wages for food,
clothing and the necessaries of life.

At the Episcopal Diocesan conven-
ton held at Charleston, S. c., last week,
a warm debate sprang up on the ques-
ton Of admitting colored members On
the floor of the convention. The result
was, thirteen parishes and two rectors
who were opposed withdrew from the
convention. AS there has been but
one heaven revealed for people of off
ferent colors, those who cannot endure
the idea of going to the paradise where
good colored people are admitted will
doubtless have the privilege of staying
out.

CITY PROSPECTS.

One of our long resident and much
respected citizens informs us he has
made a tour of observation in this city,
and has come to the conclusion that
the prospects of d healthy improve
ment for the present year is better
than at the spring season for several
years past. He finds something new
in progress and in prospect in different
parts of the city; every one is busy and
but few idlers are seen. There will be
considerable substantial building done !;
among the dwellings to be erected
there will be $1,000 house On the
west side of the park for Mr.. Charles
Allen. Kenosha has not a great vari-
ETY. of manufacturing establishments,
but has a few doing as large if not
larger business than in any other town
in the state. OF these is the mailing
establishment of Petit & Co., the tan
merry of N. r. Allen & Sons, and the
wagon factory of E. Balm & Co. The
influence Of the city debt, which so
long deferred purchasers of real estate,
is no longer a serious barrier to the
buying of real estate property. The
gentleman who has made these obser-
vations on the condition of the city,
has no real estate property in the city
to sell, nor does he desire to purchase
any. His judgment may be taken as
wholly disinterested.

ANECDOTE OF CHIEF JUSTICE
RYAN

While great lawyers are proverbial for
that sang .froid, wit, skill and profound
knowledge of the law that oft-times
bridges their clamoring clients over the
" slough of despond, they are frequent
ly unfortunate in being on the wrong
side of the law suit, and argue bad law
to a judge, because, forsooth, the good
law happened to be on the other side.
There are few exceptions to this gen.
eral rule of i'll luck among ATTORNEYS,
and the lamented Chief Justice of Wis
consin was not one of the exceptions.
Those citizens of Kenosha who we're
here in the sixties will remember with
pleasure the smiling face and genial adj
dress of Judge Hardness, then on the
Circuit bench of Kenosha county. It
was before him that Mr.. Ryan was arg,l-
ing motion for new trial, with Col.
Fred. Lowell of counsel" Mr.. Ryan,
gathering the few decisions from differ
ent State reports that pointed in his
clients favor, and exerting his unrivaled
powers of analysis. condemnation and
sarcasm, of which he was an eminent
master, delivered an argument ire
sistibly conclusive to any one not thor
oughly posted on the intricate question
of the law then before the Court. The
Judge, with smiling countenance, would
occasionally nod an assent, and Mr..
Ryan evidently supposed that he had
captured the legal side of CHS honor
and felt confident of the result but alas
for human hopes No sooner had he
finished his arguments than the Judge,
with the same puzzling smile on his face,
decided squarely against him.
Mr.. Ryan, who stood with coat off,
hands in his pockets, and one suspender
dangling at his side, cast an angry glance
of establishment at the Court, grabbed
up his hat, twitched his coat over his
arm and bolted through the doorway,
when he collided with Col. Lowell, who
was Fastening up the stairs so as to be
in at the finish.
"What is the matter? ?" asked the
Colonel.
"Matter enough" growled the great
ljurist.
"Don't the Judge know the law p
asked the Colonel.
K7aoaO the daU Helen Blazes, yes
am not angry at Hardness because he
don't know the law, but I am blankety
blank mad at him because he does"
Col. Lowell in after days would tell this
story on the Chief Justice, and when he
described the grotesque appearance OF
Mr.. Ryan as he came down the stair
way of the old Court House with the
suspender trailing at his heels, his hat
cooked on one side of his head, and his
large eyes bulged out on his cheeks, he
would fairly shake his sides with mirth,
and, said he: I" I believe Ryan would
have dragged that pesky red suspender
clear through Main street, if hadn't
have ordered him to tie himself up"

Lovers of strawberries-and who
are nOt-will be sorry to learn that the
strawberry crop in Southern Illinois,
where so many hundreds of people are
engaged in producing this kind of fruit,
is threatened with destruction this
season. Small insects are running the
plants, and the yield promises to be
limited. Other small fruits, with
apples and cherries, are also threaten
ed with damage. The region of coun-
try around Centralia, ILL.,, is largely de-
voted to the raising of fruit, and the
loss will fall heavily on those engaged
in that industry.

Y. M. G. ASSOCIATION.

In looking over the papers regularly
received and kept ON file in the reading
room OF the Young Mems Christian
Association, there is found respect
able number of leading newspapers,
but there are lacking we'll known reli-
gious papers, which are commonly
found in reading rooms of this kind.
1t would be desirable to have each of
the prominent religious denominat ions
represented by paper Of their church
order in the reading room. It would
afford source Of information of the
religious movements of the times, and
would also dispel the apprehension that
the association is under sectarian in
fluence. Besides, many persons like to
know what is being done by the princi-
pal religious bodies; this is a kind of
intelligence which all liberal minded
persons are pleased to obtain. There
are now religious weekly publications
received, but only two have church
or denominational classification, and
one of these is donated by Catholic.
1t would add much to the reading
variety OF papers if each of the diff
ferent Protestant churches would re-
gard it as privilege to contribute a
paper of their denomination. The
Secretary, Mr., Hammond, is doing
what he can to furnish the room with
reading matter, and other proper at.
fractions, but no means have been put
into his hands for these purposes, and
the generosity of the christian public
is relied upon to make this enterprise
a success.
The reading room library has made
a respectable beginning, but a little
more enterprise would easily add much
to the enlargement. without the cost
being felt. There are many individuals
and families, who, seeing a new book
advertised, which promises to be inter-
esting, purchase it, and after having
read 1T, do not care to read it a second
time, but lay it aside. If in all these
cases such books as furnish interesting
and" profitable reading were put into
the library of the Christian Associa-
ton, they would serve for the reading
of many persons, and give the library
additional attractions for young men.
There is a sort of family pride that is
justifable enough which keeps in some
conspicuous room in their houses for
show lot of handsomely bound books
which have been read by the proprie-
tors of them about all they ever will,
but which might be of value in pub
lie library to such persons as are unac-
Quainted with them. Standard and
reference books no one cares to part
with; they do not soon become old;
but miscellaneous books are more
easily parted with. Let it be borne in
mind, that great proportion of our
young men have no libraries at home;
therefore since they are offered free ac-
cess to the library of the Young Mems
Christian Association, let that be well
provided with books.

Immense damage was caused by
forest fires last week in the Northern
part of this state; also in Northern
Michigan. The long continued dry
weather contributed to the fury of the
flames. These fires are great loss to
the country, especially all the states
dependent on the pine regions of the
north for lumber. The timber is fast
wasting away by being cut away to
furnish lumber supplies for entire
states.
